i have a 2001 sc2. that black plastic panel right behind the 3rd door on the driver's side. what's it called? an applique? anyway how does it come off? i think i have to remove it to get at the fasteners to remove the drip molding. here's a pic of it.

Try Saturnfans.com....Im sure someone there will know :) ya i have it posted there also, nobody's really sure how to do it. what i have to do is to remove the drip rail, but removal of the applique might not be necessary if it just maybe slids into the applique with tabs, not sure. maybe when i get the new drip rail i will see how it attaches then....

As in yes please ? i'm not really sure it will help me, but ya if ya want to post the video. i'm trying to figure out how it attaches along the rear window. i have that black panel along the window that might hide the drip rail screws & i got to figure out how that panel comes off if it covers the screws. not sure....
